Some scientists believe that politoed is the true evolution of Poliwhirl, since all tadpoles are destined to becomes frogs, and using the water stone for a poliwhirl to become poliwrath interupts the natural process of things, but they also claim that Politoed is not natural, because the only way it can evolve is to capture it, give it a King's Rock and have it transported through the teleportation system, like trading.

Politoed's tongue can stretch to about 3 times the length of it's body, it uses this to eat small insects. This pokémon also has an elegant voice, apart from it's croaking it can sing sweet songs by adjusting it's billowing.
